HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CHARLES DARWIN!

Let’s celebrate with a wine tasting.

Join us for a wine tasting in honor of Charles Darwin, scientist extraordinaire. We’ll follow his journey on the HMS Beagle, in which his observations on plants, animals, rocks, and people proved indispensable to his views on natural selection and evolutionary theory.

The Beagle, with Darwin aboard, predominantly traveled along the coast of South America – and famously to the Galapagos Islands – but also made stops in New Zealand, Australia, South Africa, and the Canary Islands.

Join us for this installment of our Time-Traveler Tastings! Our tastings will transport you to a different place and time as we dig deep into the history of the wine, the region, and the people who make it. Each class features 5 wines that we taste while discovering the fun facts and peculiar histories of each wine’s locale.

BONUS: A limited quantity of these bottles will be available for sale to-go!

Your ticket entitles you to our 5-wine tasting plus light snacks, as well as 15% off your evening’s bar tab AND special pricing on bottles of the evening’s wines (for to-go sales). Seating is limited.

We will travel her native Mexico and around the world to discover the people and places inextricably linked to the celebrated artist, from Andre Breton to Leon Trotsky, Diego Rivera, and more!

Borders can be pretty arbitrary, as the changing geopolitial-world is constantly demonstrating.

But, while the name, politicians, and language may change, “place” does not. People are the constant tie to the land, maintaining and preserving underlying traditions and cultures – and sense of place.

Come taste 5 wines from lands with historically-contested borders:

Marjan Simčič, Goriška Brda Pinot Grigio (2015)

Meinklang Somlo Foam Pet Nat Biodynamic (2016)

Kuentz-Bas, Alsace Pinot Noir (2013)

Alpha Estate, Xinomavro (2015)

Jean Louis Tribouley Cotes Catalanes Orchis Vieilles Vignes (2014)

Join Nick in the lounge for this series that highlights the differences between Old World and New World wines. “Old World” doesn’t mean stuffy, but refers to the classic wine-growing regions of Europe, like France, Spain, and Italy. “New World” refers to younger wine-growing regions outside Europe, including the United States, South America, South Africa, and Australia.

This tasting will compare wines from Italy (Old World) with counterparts from the States (New World)

What really makes these wines different from each other – even when the same grapes varieties are used – are their varying climates and production styles. The best way to understand this difference is to taste them side by side, and that’s just what we’ll do! As a bonus, we’ll have a light food-pairing for each set.

We will be tasting 6 wines in total, side by side and you get to be the judge as we decide the winner of Old World v. New World.

Well, I like Chianti, but there is a whole other world of wines inside of Tuscany!

We’ll travel from San Gimignano (which lets me talk about the Guelphs! and the Ghibellines!), to Grosetto and the Maremma. What is there? Great wine, to be sure (Morellino di Scansano! Montecucco!), but also Etruscans, Romans, and Medici – oh my!

This tasting will be led by Jill Weber, Jet’s owner and our Wining Archaeologist. Let her guide you through 5 wines and their unique histories. This is a new year, so we have a new tasting series: Time-Traveler Tastings!

April 3rd – is it infamous? How does it relate to wine? Well, first, everything relates to wine…

Marlon Brando, Doris Day, and “Boss” Tweed were all born on April 3rd. Also, the Pony Express was started and the Falklands War begun. Is that what we’ll talk about? No. But those things did all occur on April 3rd. Find out more when you come out to Jet!
